scarllete: There exist many different definitions of terrorism, but terrorism most commonly includes these elements: Use of premeditated, politically motivated violence or the threat of violence; Targeting noncombatants; Being a non-state actor; Absence of a state of war (specifically conventional warfare), thus excluding war crimes; Taking actions designed to coerce, frighten, or "send a message" to the public or a government (thus excluding organized crime performed for personal gain)....and he's one of those attackers that should taken action .......he truly deserves to call it as terrorist........

Kumz: Well... If all the Muslims wanna whine about why he wasn't called a terrorist, go ahead whine all you want. Shyt happens. You have Bin Laden to thank for the black mark he put on you. It's pretty much like what the innocent tamils in my country has to go through, thanks to Prabhakaran. Muslims are not the only ones who feel this way. Talk to a Tamil person living in Sri Lanka and you'll know what I'm saying. At least the tamils in our country are working on unity with the rest of th country, and the Sinhalese are slowly, but surely getting rid of the"all tamils are terrorists"bullshyt. Most of you talk on behalf of Bin Laden and then you whine about ll Muslims being labeled as terrorists. Grow up already!

haris: ur facts are restricted to ur srilanka only..
But muslims are labelled all over the world..
ok if i agree few muslims are proven terrorists, also facts prove few christians, jews, hindus etc were also committed wid terrorism.. Then why they arent called as terrorists?
Why only muslims are labelled as terrorists?
Even though if muslims fought for their land, their property, their pride etc..
Anyways i do agree killin of innocent beings is a huge crime.

Kumz: Have you any idea how small MY Sri Lanka is compared to USA, in many ways than just geographically? I wont be surprised if this issue was restricted to SL only. But did you know that many countries such as Canada, England has banned the Tamil terrorist group which was formed in SL by prabhakaran? Did you know that ever since, Tamil ppl's plea for visa to enter those countries are being rejected?

If such a small organization which formed in such a small country can make such a big impact, it's only natural that such a big organization like Al Qaida, spread out so many countries, after attacking the USA makes a mammoth impact on all Muslims, around the world.

As I said... Shyt happens. Either deal with it the right way or learn to live with the consequences. Blame Bin Laden... Not the terrorized nation that has the biggest influence around the globe.

DareDevil: btw you know usa doesnt grant visa to some countries anymore which includes pakistan and afgan o.O

haris: look.. There is a vast difference. Muslim is a community, a religion which is followed in almost evry single nation.. Worldz 2nd largest as per stats..
on the othr hand LTTEs are a handful. Not many ppl even heard of it. U might also be knowin that america rejected narendra modi's visa.
Wat m trynna say is impact on muslim community is at large as compared wid Ltte..

Kumz: You've got the"comparing"all wrong, dude. LTTE is an organization. The Tamil community is the one that was affected. So dont compare LTTE with Muslims. If the LTTE attacked the USA, all Tamils wouldn be in the same shoe the Muslims are in, right now. Ok wait... Let me explain what the LTTE stands for. Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam So I repeat... If Such a small group of terrorists can make such a big impact as to get themselves and other innocent Tamils banned and rejected from foreign countries, I dont know why you dont understand the same thing can happen to all Muslims, because of the Al Qaida.

Vipul: Below is One fresh example where western media didn't call Muslim attacker a terrorist despite the fact that attacker killed 11 peoples. I can post here many such examples where western news media not call muslim killer a terrorist. Its just because there is a difference beetwin terrorist and killers. 30-07-2011 / Gunmen kill 11 Shiite Muslims in Pakistan. Gunmen opened fire on a minibus carrying minority Shiite Muslims in southwestern Pakistan on Saturday... My point is... you can't call every Killer a terrorist and every killings a terrorist attack.

haris: that is wat i m sayin.. Muslims are spread all over the world.. So the impact on muslims wil be much more larger

Kumz: lol! And that's what I'm saying!! We're on the same page, reading in different languages. Hehehehe!

What I'm saying is... Yes. Muslims are affected. But you gotta stop blaming everyone and start re building the trust. By attacking USA, Bin Laden messed things up for the Muslims. Specially by calling it a "holy war" and involving the religion and the whole Muslim community. So you really gotta take the next step to re build the trust and relationship with the rest of the world's communities, instead of just complaining. Pity is not the same as real friendship and unity between communities. By spreading such posts as the very first one in this topic will either win you pity or shame or both.

haris: yess.. Itz clear.. Coz the fact u gave is of muslims killin othr muslims

Vipul: That's inccoret. He doesn't belongs to any terrorist org or any terrorist group so its not suprising to see media it as act of violence.., also there is no terrorist ideology behind the attact. And you igored the fact that initially news media called it terrorist attack. I am not saying western news media always right but in this case they or any other news media cant call it terrorist attack. I request u to read asian-arab news media reporting on this issue. Even they not calling it terrorist attack

haris: yess.. Itz clear.. Coz the fact u gave is of muslims killin othr muslims Why then any media wil term it as a terrorist attack?
